The summer 2016 installment of the Black Choreographers Festival has come and gone – an intriguing collection of work, both finished and still-under-construction, by dance-makers who have a lot to say.

If you missed Dimensions Dance Theater’s searing and witty commentary on the gentrification that is transforming the city of Oakland (‘The Town on Notice’), catch this distinguished company on Saturday, 15th October, at the Malonga Casquelourd Center in a revival of ‘Project Panther,’ a 1996 work that marked the 30th anniversary of the birth of the Black Panther Party in Oakland.
